I think it will be very near to a sell out irrespective of price as most genuine long standing supporters will wa nt to see us pit our wits against a Premier side to see how we shape up.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Hull
- Thread starter wellquickwoody
- Start date
I normally have to work Saturday afternoon but will probably have to swap with Friday night (Valentine's) .................. PIE, PINT & 'the magic of the cup' ......... lovely
You'll swap, then the game will be moved to 7.45 Friday, for ITV...

probably the ****tist experience for away fans - no parking near the ground as we have to use park and ride - no pubs near the ground - stewards are heavy handed and home fans do surveys on what the away fans sing at them - and then you ask us what we think - ****
Nice fella !!!

I think this will be on TV, a traditional Cup Tie with the smaller team at home and the AMEX always popular for Cup Ties as you're guaranteed a good crowd

Will be interesting if on Sunday given the Brighton half marathon and the road closures

Tough, but very much winnable. Expect £15 tickets too as the club will want a big crowd.
Cant see it being on TV, Chelsea/City, Arsenal/Liverpool, Gus Poyet/Southampton, Everton/Swansea and Cardiff/Wigan all more attractive ties than ours.
Lets be honest, if Hull vs Southend wasnt on TV, then they arent going to pick the game when they play against a Championship team.

We have a superb home record against them. Long may it continue.

Still not entirely convinced it won't squeeze on to the TV companies' radar.
The games that get on TV are:
-all Premier League ties
-a team at home to another from a higher division.
Goes without saying that the City/Chelsea and Arsenal/bindippers games are nailed on to be televised.
Of what remains, Poyet FC are current media favourites due to their League Cup exploits and shy & retiring manager, pair them with an attractive footballing team in Southampton, and that's another tick for the TV companies' boxes. Everton are increasingly attractive to watch this season, so they may well get the call for their match against Swansea.
That's four games, which leaves (for the fifth) Sheffield United or Fulham v Forest or PKE (no chance), Cardiff v Wigan, can't see that one getting on either as the lower placed team are away, two mediocre Championship teams against each other (no chance) and us.
I suspect the TV executives, with their well known fondness for the Amex, might just prefer to come here than Cardiff. The only appeal of that tie is that Wigan are the existing holders of the cup. So it might just end up being us, despite the fact that nobody, ever, wants to watch Hull. And that being the case, we'll probably end up with the short straw in terms of kick off times.

I see there is someone else in the "I want a Saturday 3PM KO" club.....We only played Hull last season as well remember, and our games against them in recent times havent exactly been crackers - either 1-0 wins or goalless draws.
Man City play Barcelona the following Tuesday, Arsenal play Munich on Wednesday, think both of those will be insisting on the Saturday TV games.

I don't think so. This is a very real chance to get into the last 8 of the FA Cup and then with a bit of luck in the draw, Wembley beckons. I think Mr Chairman and Mr Barber will be looking at the financial windfall of a possible semi final, in front of 85,000+ at Wembley and what that would do for the clubs coffers. This is not a game to give the fridge players a run out and I would have thought Oscar would be advised accordingly.

If we are on TV it will be either Friday night or Saturday late I suspect given the two top Premiership ties have European games the following mid-week plus there is zero chance of Sunday if the Brighton half-marathon.

Nah they'll have evening games.

Nah, ITV will pick one for their Saturday game and BT will have the other for their Sunday game. Not sure about the picking order for this round though, but 1 of the games would be on each channel - both big games though.
